Bangalore: Karnataka
Cooperation Minister Laxman Savadi was Tuesday caught watching
blue film clippings on his cell phone in the state assembly,
plunging the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party into unprecedented
crisis in the state.
Kannada TV channels showed Savadi with Women and Child Welfare
Minister C.C. Patil next to him watching the sex act on his cell
when the assembly was discussing a pro-Hindu group allegedly
hoisting a Pakistani flag in north Karnataka recently.
Savadi, Patil and Chief Minister D. V. Sadananda Gowda were not
immediately available for comment.
Opposition Congress and Janata Dal-Secular blasted the ministers
and the BJP, and sought the immediate dismissal of the two
ministers. They should be expelled from the assembly, they said.
"This is the most shameful incident in the history of Karnataka
assembly. Savadi should be sacked as minister and expelled from
the assembly," Leader of Opposition Siddaramaiah of the Congress
told reporters.
State JD-S chief and former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy too
sought immediate dismissal of Savadi and said his party will
decide Wednesday action to be taken in the assembly and outside
over the "shocking incident".
